Longshadow Gardens is located in Southern Illinois. The 120-acre hilltop grounds enjoy vistas of woodlands, orchards and pastures. Started in 1993, the gardens include shaded and grass paths, bluffs, waterfalls with garden ornaments displayed in natural settings.

Longshadow is named after the dramatic morning and evening shadows cast by native oaks, cedars and sassafras across the rolling meadows surrounding the restored barn and glass house where production takes place.

Classic Garden Ornaments, Ltd., designs and manufactures high quality, dry cast limestone Longshadow planters, pedestals, finials, figures, fountains, pool surrounds, benches, birdbaths and beautiful barriers in Arts & Crafts, Prairie and Traditional styles,
for exterior residential and commercial use.

Dry cast limestone offers the texture, appearance and durability of carved limestone at a fraction of the cost. Dating to Roman times, dry cast limestone has a natural porosity that makes it frost-proof and enables it to withstand decades of weathering. It is suitable for all-season exterior use for residential and commercial, street and mall site furnishings.
